in a golden curtain that enclosed them both... her slender hands on his naked flesh... his lips on the fullness of her breasts... the moans of pleasure that told him she was hot and ready.

When they had first begun, the X-rated fantasies had embarrassed him on wakening. Then he had accepted them as one of the quirks the mind delighted in springing on human beings. There had been no substance to those dreams. Leah hadn't been a personality; she had been unadulterated sexuality.

Then, suddenly, the Roman dream had appeared, and there was Leah. Vital and alive, the real Leah. And in each dream she had become more real to him. She was no longer the cool Miss French who breezed in and out of his office, efficiently taking care of business; she was an exciting individual whose personality had been hidden from him until he had found her in his dreams.

The memory of their ride home in the cab last night was a fuzzy one at best. He couldn't call up actual events, but sensations came through loud and clear. His imagination wasn't that good. Something had definitely happened between them.

He shook his head restlessly. Paul was not a man to give in to weaknesses of any kind, particularly alcohol. But last night, while he had watched her opening up and coming alive for everyone in the conference room except him, resentment had suddenly grown in him. Unreasonably he felt that the dreams had given him rights over her. The vitality and sparkle should have been his alone.

Leah sat at her desk, checking through the ads that would run for the next month in financial newspapers and trade magazines. On this level, her job was completely different. There was no ad agency, no creative geniuses to smooth the rough edges. In these ads there were no whispers of exotic locations and exciting wishes fulfilled. These were for the executives who used airplanes the way most people used cars. The purpose of the advertisements was to show that in terms of time and money, it was simply more efficient to fly Universal.

She glanced up as the door opened and Charlotte walked in. She hid a smile. It had been four days since the celebration party, and the brunette's personal crisis had been resolved in the way Leah had predicted, but she could never have predicted the subtle change that had taken place in her secretary. For a reason known only to Charlotte, the sweet, myopic mouse had blossomed. Her expression and posture, even her speech pattern, reflected her new confidence.

"Leah," Charlotte said, "he's called three times already this morning. I told him you were in a meeting, but I don't know how much longer I can put him off.
